Alliance recruits
for two consulting roles: Associate
and Consultant.
Associates are hired out of undergraduate programs. Consultants
and Summer Interns typically come from top MBA or graduate
schools. Beyond these positions, however, Alliance staff also
includes Managers and Vice Presidents. These positions are
filled through either internal promotions or hiring experienced
professionals externally.

In a typical client engagement, we work
in case teams of between 3-5 Alliance employees. Although
assignments may vary considerably, a case team is usually
led by a Vice President, run by a Manager and staffed with
1-2 Consultants and 2-3 Associates. Depending on the type
of project and specific client needs, case teams typically
include between 5 and 8 members from the client company. On
some of our larger cases, client team members can number as
high as 30 or more.

In staffing projects, we strive to balance
the client's need for continuity and knowledge with our own
employees' professional development needs. As soon as new
hires join the firm, they are given a great deal of responsibility
and will be expected to take on more. Client exposure and
case team involvement may begin as early as the first day
on the job. For that reason, we look for self-starters who
want to progress at a rapid pace.
